The Bible is Hilarious, Part 1

These verses from Isaiah 3 crack me up. It sounds like the Lord has spent a weekend or two hanging out in the parking lot outside Grateful Dead concerts.

16 The LORD says,
"The women of Zion are haughty,
walking along with outstretched necks,
flirting with their eyes,
tripping along with mincing steps,
with ornaments jingling on their ankles.

17 Therefore the Lord will bring sores on the heads of the women of Zion;
the LORD will make their scalps bald."

18 In that day the Lord will snatch away their finery: the bangles and headbands and crescent necklaces, 19 the earrings and bracelets and veils, 20 the headdresses and ankle chains and sashes, the perfume bottles and charms, 21 the signet rings and nose rings, 22 the fine robes and the capes and cloaks, the purses 23 and mirrors, and the linen garments and tiaras and shawls.

Truly -- this sounds like the scene outside the Kaiser Center or at the Oregon Country Fair. Apparently the Lord will be sparing women who wear Business Coordinates.
